MetaFix BLP - Locking Plate for Hallux-Valgus
Locking plate for Hallux-Valgus interventions through proximal chevron, crescentic and closing or open wedge osteotomies as well as TMT1 and MTP1 fusion procedures. The BLP™ Plate is an anatomically shaped U-oblique locking plate that adapts the proximal curvature of the first metatarsal. The plate is available in four lengths (31, 33, 35 and 37 mm) for left and right feet. The plate construct is affixed with 3.0 mm and 3.5 mm locking screws that offload the osteotomy of fracture site. Two K-wire holes of 1.4 mm facilitate temporary fixation.
